Advantages

Bonus distribution carried out by the team is remarkable because more token buyers will come in at the final stage of ICO because more bonuses are given. The fact that this project has a reserve of tokens it not only improves the token economy but also makes it a more profitable venture because the losses are then minimized by the reserve policy.

Risks and disadvantages

The taurus token is more susceptible to facing depreciation due to the fact that the token is matched with only one cryptocurrency which is ethereum in case of its depreciation the token will fallin value as well. No press is involved with the project implying the communication with potential investors will not be effective.

Comments

The success of taurus is on probability because of the volatility in the market it is not guaranteed for any project to succeed even after the accomplishment of the funding.

Advantages

Discounts are offered during Pre-ICO and ICO, which will help to attract more attention to the project. The first version of the product is planned to be released during the 3rd quarter 2018, which is quite soon. Team tokens will be locked for six months, which will give more security to investors.

Risks and disadvantages

I think information about establishing strategic partnerships should be presented in a proper way for the investors to see real achievements of the project.

Comments

This is an interesting project, which is developed by a reliable team. But they should pay much more attention to the promoting strategy in order to achieve their goals.

Advantages

Despite the fact that Whitepaper has only 21 pages, it is detailed enough and contains charts, tables and graphs. The project also offers discounts for early investors, depending the time they purchased tokens.

Risks and disadvantages

Roadmap has limited number of periods of platform development. I wish they would be more and detailed up to dates. In addition, there is no MVP. Another drawback is no information about partners.

Comments

I agree with Anne, that the team needs to focus more on presentation of the platform. I think, it would be good to have partnership with different media resources. As a result, more people will know about the project.

3.0

Advantages

Unsold tokens will be burned, and creating token's shortage is a reliable instrument for the increasing token's value. Simplicity and ease of use will be significant advantages of the product.

Risks and disadvantages

I think an informative presentation of the advantages of the project would be very useful. Unfortunately there is no such a thing, no video presentation, the whitepaper is not visually attractive, it doesn't provide possibility to get most important information easy and quickly.

Comments

I'm afraid that potential investors may just pass this project by, because it is not well presented. At the same time the idea is good and given a proper realization it will be successful.

Advantages

It is advisable to invest in a project with token reserves, this is a criteria observed by Taurusox and it places it at a very competitive spot in the market.

Risks and disadvantages

There aren't any videos used in the project, due to the increased number of scum ICO projects it is necessary because without it the projects authenticity could be doubted.

Comments

The platform is open to a variety of investment opportunities including centralized and decentralized this is a tactical work plan to accommodate both markets.
